Why we read it this way (5)
The job title says 'Principal' but the body consistently describes a 'senior level individual contributor' — the actual scope and requirements support a Senior classification rather than a true Principal (org-wide technical authority) band.
The posting is titled 'Principal IT Infrastructure Engineer (Microsoft Entra)' but the body reads heavily like a Systems Analyst or IT Consultant role (requirements gathering, business case development, process improvement). The primary day-to-day work described in the Technical Summary — engineering and administering Entra/identity services — points to infrastructure/systems administration (15-1244), but the Essential Responsibilities section leans toward business/systems analysis (15-1211), creating genuine ambiguity.
The minimum qualification is a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent work experience, so no hard degree requirement is set.
Specific named technologies are sparse in this posting. Microsoft Entra, Entra Connect, Azure, and Active Directory (implied by hybrid identity synchronization) are the concrete platforms named. Microsoft 365, RBAC, and IAM appear in context and are marked preferred.
Healthcare industry experience (5 years) is listed as a preferred qualification, not a hard gate.
